I’m almost ashamed to say this, but I had to buy a 2nd XBONE so that my wife and I could play Halo 5 together. Got the new xbox over the weekend, Installed Halo 5 and set everything up.
The problem is that every time my wife and I are in a party, we fail to connect to the dedicated server, in Co-op and regular multiplayer.
Both XBONEs are NAT: Open.
We were on the phone with Microsoft for 2 hours troubleshooting, and found that COD, and Minecraft works just fine, but not Halo 5.
Could this be a server issue?
Technical info of network:
PFsense Firewall v2.2.1
-8 core XEON Server
-Public IP from Comcast 100/20 Mbps connection
-All XB Live servers are allowed to the game consoles via Firewall Rules
-UPNP is enabled
-Both XBONEs report Open NAT
-Reset State table - Sometimes will fix strange connection issues
Cisco Managed POE Switch
Cisco AiroNet 1142 AP
XBox’s are connected through CAT-6 and given static IPs

I will also mention you may want to send tweets to the support team. It seems like most of the issues under the support forums are ignored or at least not recognized. I’ve seen multiple threads with this same issue over there already.
Didn’t angry Joe have this same issue, or was that something different? In his review he mentioned having connection problems with 2 xboxes on the same network, but managed to work around it. I don’t know how though. Maybe he mentions how on his youtube page or elsewhere.

I had the same issue a long time ago with Battlefield 3 trying to play with two PS3’s connecting to the same server and only one of them could connect. As soon as the other disconnected, the PS3 that couldn’t connect before now can.
I also got 2 Xbox Ones to be able to play with family. Pain in the bank. But anyways, we have been able to play together in multiplayer and campaign. Both have open NAT and we’ve had no problems so far. Hope you can get it figured out.
